Free of the masking effects of gravity-induced convection, shear forces, and other complicating phenomena, and without surface constraints, microgravity provides researchers with a clear window on biological and physical processes.

Microbes grown in microgravity show unique virulence factors compared to those on Earth, which can help isolate relevant genes and lead to vaccine design.

Commercially relevant research in material sciences, combustion, metallurgy, and other disciplines has been performed in microgravity.

Nanotech researchers are using microgravity to understand the equations of motion of nano particles for constant-dosing drug delivery

Soon, the microgravity of Earth orbit will be available commercially to researchers around the world. Short-duration microgravity is also available today. This website offers information to help researchers consider when and how to “remove gravity” on the path to market.
